Due to its active tectonic movement the entire Himalayan belt is seismically active posing high risk of earthquake to millions of people living in this region. The purpose of this paper is to investigate crisis and disaster risk management issues during natural disaster such as earthquake. A case of Nepal earthquake was taken to conduct this study. The results were focused on earthquake preparedness and preventive measures as well as rescue and relief mechanisms. The geo-technique framework is responsible for the occurrence of huge earthquake in different regions.
